I know, I've seen a bunch of that lately.
Bought another house -- Garage build
- Thread starter gimmie11s
- Start date
So here we go... Long story short -- we are a basketball family. I coached all my kids through rec ball, 16 y/o son plays for the high school, younger son plays, daughters play... etc etc.
Decided we wanted a regulation 1/2 court -- 50x45 or so. Ordered a MegaSlam 72' hoop and ended up pouring a 55x47' slab. Came out bitchin.
Hoop system: MegaSlam 72" Basketball Goal | 72" In-Ground Basketball Hoop
Couple pics of the concrete work:
Finished off the edges and corners with some bark mulch.
Here I have the hoop base installed.... waiting for the concrete to cure a bit more before I hang the backboard off of it. The whole hoop system weighs over 800 lbs.
Gonna paint it? How is that even legal in California?
Yeah man, gonna be pretty sweet. We'll stripe it first, paint the key that same blue as the house trim, then design some sort of logo and have that professionally done.
Ah ha! Come get some!
Ja Rule music is the only thing that would keep me off that court.

DMX would turn that court to a 90s street ball game real quick and EVERYONE posting in this thread is too old for that shit lol
that is awesome!! Some of my best memories come from our tiny concrete slab and crappy goal, and my dad trying his damnedest to hang with us (and then hafta go to work the next day, usually limping)
I ended up with a great mid range game because any further out and you were in the dirt lol.
If my knees worked I’d still play in as many men’s leagues as i could around here
enjoy!!

Ah man, yes similar experience growing up on my end. Single wide driveway with 10 of us kids playing 5 on 5 hahaha.
Thanks mang! Where the hell have you been!?!??!
That’s pretty muck sick.
Back in Brockton we had my friend’s grandfather who was an iron worker make some custom brackets and made a backboard to attach to it then it all fastened to a telephone pole and that’s what we played on.
Every couple of minutes someone would almost get hit by a passing car but it was still a big part of my childhood and I enjoyed it very much.
I developed a pretty good outside shot but overall I was not a good basketball player. In fact I stunk. I fouled too much couldn’t jump at all and was too dam slow.

We did have tons of hours out on that court and with a streetlight right above the basket we could play at night.
Life's been busy man. Finally getting some time back to get to the site and car again. Nice to be back.
